Ida, born a Jew and brought up as a good Christian
Many smells wafting in the air, of smoke, perfume and popcorn, while waiting eagerly to watch the movie with my mom in the waiting hall grabbing hot salty popcorn. I love this atmosphere actually, till now I have no reason why being so happy in the presence of many foreigners except for Difference.
A mixture of languages echoes all over the place, all there to watch a foreign movie. Art unifies humanity.
Ida is the name, a Polish- Danish production, the scene in the hall was inviting, even the stairs were taken, and in the seats behind I recognize a Palestinian dialect.
It starts with a nun in some Convent in Poland who is about to take her own vows. The head of the convent insists that she goes to see the only remained relative of hers. Upon her visit to her aunt, she discovers that her name is Ida Lebenstein and that she is a Jew. The aunt shows the girl the photos of her deceased family and tells her that she has no idea how they were killed or where they were buried. Both, they decided to go and search for the truth, they have found the home where their family used to live and upon a deal with the owner to stop claims over their house, he showed them where her family were buried and there, and after digging up their graves, he confessed that he killed them, and the reason why he could not kill Ida.
She has to choose, between the life she has had and the original version of her life which may make her abandon her spiritual life for a worldly one.Two symbols of trials were made before the final decision, first, she goes back to the convent doing all the practices including the rituals of taking vows, but just before that, she has decided she is not ready, so she goes back to her aunt’s house after her suicide. She puts on her high-heeled black shoes, smokes her cigarettes, drinks Vodka, dancing with a guy she has met and finally experiences carnal love. The day after she has asked him what they should do, he has told her that they will go to some place to perform a concert,
She asked what then, he replied, “we will get married”, she followed that with “then”, to which he replied ”we will have kids”, again she repeated “then” he answered, “the usual life.”
Sometimes, before some facts, you may not know who you are anymore; you are left with options, you are stuck between two lives, an original version and one that has been chosen for you. It is only easy to decide upon trial, to make sure that you will never remorse, that what Ida has made, a spiritual trial and a worldly one, before making up her mind.
